Written by practising teachers this collection: * examines the definitions and scope of differentiation * looks at the structuring and...

Is it about including a special group of disabled learners or students seen to have 'special needs' (them) or is it concerned with making educational institutions inclusive, responsive to the diversity of all their students (us)? In this unique comparative study, the editors have brought together an international team of researchers from eight countries to develop case-studies which explore the processes...

The way in which special education is conceived varies around the world, and pratice varies accordingly.
